@ossobuco,
Hello osso! Thanks for the welcome and please don't change a thing on my account, Askville folk are notoriously thick skinned and we enjoy a good discussion, even with the occasional verbal tussle......from what I have seen of the format, I like it.
By the way, lovely dog in your avatar and veal shanks (osso buco) is one of my favorite dishes......
Anyway, glad to be here :~)
